In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study, we evaluated the effect of an ultra-low dose of naloxone infusion on the amount of postoperative morphine consumption and the reduction of opioid induced side effects post- operative nausea and vomiting(PONV) and pruritus. Ninety patients scheduled for total abdominal hysterectomy and classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 or 2 were enrolled in the study. They were randomized to either saline (control, n=45) or naloxone 0.2µg.kg-1.h-1(n=45) for 24 hours. Standardized general anesthetics were administered in both groups. In the Recovery room, patients received morphine by patient-controlled analgesia. Ultra- low dose naloxone was infused intravenously at 0.2µg.kg-1.h-1 for 24 hours, in the intervention group and saline in control group. Morphine use, numeric rating score (NRS) for pain intensity, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and requests for antiemetic were recorded at baseline , 30min and every 4 hour up to 24 hours after surgery.
